If Only

If only I had been more careful
with this body
this temple
this place my soul dwells for now.

If only I hadn’t played the role
of martyr
with my life
my journey
my albatross.

But if’s a silly word.
How much good can if do
if it never comes true?

And here I am
alive and breathing
loving and joyous,
and finally okay
with being the perfectly
imperfect person I am.

Ayurvedic ways have healed me from massive neck surgery which nearly paralyzed me fifteen years ago. My mission is to share the healing energy that flows through me with the world with my poetry, musings, energy updates, flash fiction and autobiographical fiction. My mama taught me to love all of humanity and to have a deep respect for Nature and all sentient beings. Now that the Age of Aquarius has begun, we shall all find sustainable, inclusive ways to live in harmony with each other and with the Earth.
